This was a great debate in many ways. Trumps absence actually allowed the others to get more of their own ideas presented. There were hard questions and there was some back and forth with the moderators. The worst part came at the beginning when Kelly tried to get Cruz to attack Trump. He wouldn't do it and Trump only came up again at the end of the debate by Bush.
Carson I think got the shaft, the least time of all the debaters, although Kasich also complained of not being given a chance to answer some questions. Cruz struggled to explain his position on immigration and the gang of eight issue, but overall had a pretty good night. Bush had probably his best night since the debates started. If he had been like this in the beginning he might have held more of his support.
Rubio's problem still seems to be consistency on immigration, but I think he had the best night of all. He was forceful, firm, and fired up. There is conviction in him that you hardly see in some of the others. I think he would be a great debater in the elections if he's the nominee. I think everyone did well in this debate, but Rubio was spectacular, and I'd say he won this round.
